By Tatyana Kekic in Belgrade Hundreds of students in Serbia began their two-day march from the capital Belgrade to Novi Sad on January 30, a journey of approximately 80 kilometers, as the country remains gripped by political turmoil following a deadly infrastructure collapse in Novi Sad late last year.

Hundreds of students set off on a protest march of some 90 kilometers from Belgrade to the northern city of Novi Sad on January 30. The demonstrations come amid months of anti-government protests following a deadly infrastructure collapse in Novi Sad in November 2024.
